The "Drop, Doo, Doo" reconnaissance system issued a rapid alarm, and the cosmic space gravitational anomaly caused by a large number of warships was discovered by the reconnaissance system of the Federation. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Almost as soon as the alarm was accompanied, the realistic space of the radar screen was filled with red markers. In the next second, the enemy's attack had arrived. The shells fired by the battle-class catapult batteries flew with a huge inertia. A transport ship had to disintegrate on its own the moment it was hit.

"Combat state, shield maximum power." The captain of the Federation, Liu Qingyuan, reacted at the first time, opened the shield and charged the main gun. "The main gun is unlocked, and the emergency counterattack is carried out."

"The New Mountain, the New Fukuzawa will release the fighter immediately." Lu Lu also ordered the two aircraft carriers in the flagship formation to release the fighters through the command link. "Release directional bombs, block X232, Y13, Z78."

Accompanied by Lu Lu's order, thousands of hound-class starships were jumping at high speed on the screen.

"Understood, it takes one hundred and fifty seconds." On the New Fukuzawa, Lei Qingrang, who was heading towards the bridge, replied. Although the Fukuzawa was crammed with fighter planes, it was impossible to release them all in just two and a half minutes, but it was not impossible to form a line of defense.

"Impact Warning"

The Confederation's central computer issued an icy warning. The warning was accompanied by a strong tremor even on the central bridge. Although the starship's inertial suppression system had been operating at full capacity, the 120-kilometer-long behemoth was still trembling under the enemy's intense artillery fire.

"We lost the signal of the reconnaissance detachment." The radar officer's report made Lu Lu's heart skip a beat. Then came another piece of bad news. "During the enemy's attack, one transport ship was destroyed, and the armor of two transport ships was seriously damaged."

"Confirm the number of enemy troops, twenty battleships, seventy battle cruisers, two hundred and sixty cruisers. Hound-class frigates two thousand. "Although it was a little late, the report was only thirty seconds after the enemy opened fire, and it was still commendably efficient.

"It's rare to be on par in scale." Lu Lu said in a mocking tone. It's not a fact to boast about, but it's the first time in the Wellspring Realm that the Federation Navy has faced such a close number of enemies. Previously, the Republican fleet was completely crowded, and a large number of convoys formed an absolute numerical superiority over the Union Navy.

The battleships belonging to the flagship formation came to the periphery of the formation under enemy fire, and as long as their huge bodies were lined up, they could provide enough huge concealment space for the other starships behind them. Several maintenance ships quickly approached and quickly completed the wartime connection with the transport ships.

"Mark enemy battlecruiser-tier starships and set fire." Lu Lu now has no time to care about the death or injury of his subordinates, and if he can't quickly regain the initiative, then he will lose the battle. Losing in such a battle where the two sides are evenly matched, doesn't it mean that Lu Lu is incompetent as a commander?

There's no denying the incredible power and range of a projectile weapon in its class, and it comes with an astonishing cooldown, which takes half a minute to reload after firing. Half a minute, if you don't take into account the service life, is enough for the rail turret to shoot a full sixteen rounds.

Lulu's flagship formation, which had ten battleships, including the USS Federation, completely suppressed the Republican fleet's main gun attack in a short period of time with an extremely high rate of fire, despite having only sixty main guns. The battlecruiser, which had been targeted from the beginning, crumbled under the attack of the battleship's main guns.

It is already common sense that the Mimatar battleships were not strong enough. Although they tried to achieve an absolute number of single battlefields in combat. Unfortunately, their opponent in the Domain of Springs, the youngest Admiral of the Federation Navy, was like a slippery loach, and the tactics of a one-line push did not leave them a chance.

This time it's just a coincidence...... No one in the entire republican fleet would have imagined that the Federation would appear here. No one thought that what was originally just an ordinary ambush of a transport fleet would encounter the Federation and pass by in a broken flagship formation.

For the commander of the Republican fleet, Jace? For General Ron, this is the worst thing that can happen. He led the fleet to hide in this nameless galaxy for seven days, but the transport fleet did not wait, it was a heavily armed fleet. When the radar detected movement in the channel, one of his subordinates attacked first.

Also like Jace? As Ron expected, the first blow was only a small loss due to the alarming of the enemy. This was followed by a counterattack by the enemy, fierce and swift like a raging storm. As if it had eyes, the artillery fire fell precisely on the weakly armored battlecruiser.

Penetrating, exploding, shining with blue and white light, like fireworks, the man-made behemoth ended its mission. In the shelling of the fire, the Kings class has not yet feared any battleship of its class, let alone the inferior battleships of the Republican fleet.

With the help of the stellar wind, the Hound class is crazy close......

Directly above the battleship's defensive formation, the space fighter unit had already been grouped and went to intercept the Hound class at a faster speed than the Hound class.

As said earlier, the Hound class is not so much a frigate as a battleship with an engine strapped to it. The poor manufacturing process makes the cannon have a low range, and in order to ensure the destructive power, the energy consumption of this main cannon is staggering, and for this reason, the Hound's reserve energy can only be fired ten to twelve times at a time.

Even with all the flaws of the Hound class, getting the Hound class into attack range is still a nightmare for all battleships. That sheer amount would make the battleship's vaunted defense a joke.

For this reason, the empires of the known universe have to vigorously develop space fighter forces. Because this is the most effective known countermeasure against hound-class sea tactics.

Although sending fighter troops was only one of Lu Lu's tactical means to deal with the escort of the sea, Lu Lu still maintained considerable confidence in his subordinates.

When the blockade was completed, numerous warplanes became entangled with the Hound class. From the first shelling, but only a few minutes passed, and the frigate group was blocked out of the range of their main guns. If the main guns of the battleships are simply fired, Lu Lu is extremely confident in the Federal Navy.

In a sense, the commander of the republican fleet was still unqualified in terms of fleet operations. Due to the lack of education, the commanders of the republican fleet, although they had a wealth of experience in actual combat, did not know anything about fleet formation operations. For example, at this moment, if Lu Lu was standing in the other party's situation, he must have turned around and fled without hesitation.

"Hmm." Lu Lu nodded with satisfaction, the battlefield situation had been fully mastered. "Assault ships are ready, volleys are ready to release interceptor nets at any time."

Lu Lu's orders were well executed, and the captains of those starships carried out the orders of their superiors with almost reflexive reaction speed. Only a few minutes later, on the frontal battlefield, the big battleship firing was still in full swing, and the Federation Navy's turquoise painted starships had already launched an interception formation.

Jess? Ron's face turned pale...... Of course, his dark skin was completely invisible. When the exterior armor of his battleship No. 3 exploded again, even Jace Ron, who prided himself on his bravery, had to think about retreating. It's just that with Lu Lulu's character, it is impossible to give him such a chance.

Even though both sides of the war were located near the Star Gate, the fluctuations emitted by the interception net kept changing, disturbing the space near the battlefield. The Mimatar starship's underpowered air duct generator could not open a stable wind tunnel......

"Carrier-based space interceptor !!" Jess? Ron's eyelids jumped. This equipment, which was not popular among pirates, was also a well-known valuable item on the black market. Not only does it need to be carried on a special ship, but it is also quite sophisticated. And the republican fleet did not have the ability to create such weapons.

Still, in the event of a large-scale operation, the naval fleets of those empires preferred to use anchored jump blockers, a terrible weapon that could temporarily close the stargates.

"Adjust the course, the maximum speed, use the next stellar wind, and complete the forced jump of the stargate perix." Jess? Ron didn't think too much about it, since he couldn't jump out of place for a while, then he had to take risks. So, although he was only eighty years old, the general, who had already entered old age, gave the order in a firm tone.

Since the Federation formation has just completed the stargate jump, that is to say, the Federation's fleet is right next to the stargate, and Jace's order makes the fleet he leads must sail under the fire of the Federation Navy's naval guns for fifteen minutes, and only after reaching the maximum area of the stargate can it make the jump. Before then, though, Jace needed to change his fleet formation from an attack formation to an assault formation.

Changing formations in battle is also a lesson that takes time and effort for the Admirals of the Imperial Navy, and for Jace? For Mimatar generals like Ron, it is a discipline that relies only on talent and intuition to accumulate experience.

For Jace? The biggest misfortune for Admiral Ron was that his opponent was Lu Lu, who was the best at switching between attack and defense among the younger generation of generals in the Federation Navy. Although in the legends of the universe, Lu Lu is a cunning guy who can't be said to be cunning, but he is as slippery as a loach.

However, the high-ranking members of the federal military all know that Lu Lu, a crane tail student of the military academy, has an absolute winning rate in the simulated confrontation of the Grand Fleet. Therefore, the moment the republican fleet's formation change began, Lu Lu sensed the subtle flaw in the defense composed of battleships and battlecruisers. (To be continued.) )
